Take a list from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors

 

load it into array, and lookup using a key.

There already is a sample of this in the php.net user contributed notes somewhere for web safe colours, although unless you're wanting to include 100+ colours, you should choose an array method as mentioned.

 

$colors = array(
    'white' => 'FFFFFF', 
    'blue'  => '0000FF', 
    'green' => '00FF00'
    ...
);
$user_chosen = strtolower(trim('White'));

echo $colors[$user_chosen]; //Outputs FFFFFF if chosen is White, WHITE, white, etc.

 

Blah, quick mockup example.
